Spotify Connect is a wireless streaming technology offered by Spotify to their Premium subscribers. On the surface, it resembles AirPlay in almost every way, but the underlying technology is very different. As opposed to AirPlay (which transfers the music from the phone to the router and on to the speaker), Spotify Connect works as a direct link between the speaker and Spotify's servers. This results in three major advantages:

Increased stability

Being able to receive phone calls without the music stopping

Being able to control playback from any device connected to your Spotify account (regardless of which devices initiated the playback)

To use Spotify Connect, you must be a Spotify Premium subscriber and use the latest version on your iOS or Android device. If these requirements are fulfilled, all you need to do is:

Open the Spotify app on your iOS or Android device

Select a song

Click the Spotify Connect speaker symbol and select your speaker

Once the music has started, you can turn off your device, or use it for other purposes; the music will keep playing. If you wish to select new music, adjust the volume etc., simply use any Spotify app logged in to your account.

Using Spotify on an Android, Windows Phone or Blackberry device as a non-Premium member

If you are not using an iOS device and are not subscribed to Spotify Premium, use Bluetooth to stream audio from Spotify to your Libratone speaker.
